Every shelter pet deserves a fresh start.

Half of all dogs entering shelters are not getting the grooming they need. That’s why Wahl and GreaterGood.org are working to clean up and clear out animal shelters. Thanks to donated grooming supplies, shelters in need will transform more than 20,000 dogs this year — helping them to find a forever home.

You can help support shelters too. Browse the before and after gallery, like or share an adoptable pet on social media or reach out and adopt one of these amazing animals.

Dirty Dogs Contest

From these amazing transformations, we selected 10 finalists to participate in our sixth annual Dirty Dogs Contest. Public votes determined the top three winners. The animal shelters or rescue groups affiliated with these dogs received cash grants to further support their efforts.
